Where Are You Tonight?

Lyrics

There's a young man in the corner playing crazy all night long
 Quarters piled high upon the table
 And he orders wild turkey and with a quick wit and a smile
 He says, "My darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable"
 But his baseball cap and his barroom rap
 Tell me a different story
 That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
 Just another lonely country boy grown weary of the night
 Just another boy with a sink full of dirty dishes
 And where are you tonight?
 When I left you in my dreams last night
 You promised me that we would be breaking free
 Where are you tonight?
 He tells me of the back roads
 And how we'll drive them all night long
 How the days will fade, and the moon will hang forever
 And the cloud of dust we'll kick up will linger like a song
 And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender
 But as I catch us in the barroom mirror
 With his arm around my shoulder
 This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar
 And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side
 She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar
 And where are you tonight?
 I don't think I can face tomorrow's light
 Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me
 Where are you tonight?
 Where are you tonight?
 I think I'll be making it through all right
 But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me
